Sports Premium

The Government are continuing with their grant allowance, called the Primary PE and Sport Funding, to support all children and improve the quantity, quality, and breadth of PE and sport provision.

Our indicative Primary and Sport Funding for 2017/18 is £17,830. Schools will be given 65% in October 2017 and 35% in April 2018.

At Broadway Primary School we have developed our use of the grant to provide extra coaching sessions for children at the school. These sessions are the following:

Additionally, we are using the funding to employ an outside provider to offer three, one-hour Change4Life sessions. We are also using the funding to purchase ICT equipment which will be utilised within PE sessions as a tool which will enable AfL opportunities to increase.

We have used the funding to secure a place on a pilot scheme called ‘Wearable Tech’. This is in development with Burnley SSP and Sport Lancashire and it offers us a class-set of Garmin wearable technology. This will help us monitor activity levels and help record how we achieve thirty minutes of vigorous activity within school. It will also encourage children to become more active outside of school as it is an incentivised scheme where families get rewarded for the amount of steps their child does within the week. This scheme will begin in January ’18 and will primarily be used by Years 3,4,5 and 6 per each half term. Next year we will utilise the technology throughout the whole school.

Lastly, we have continued our membership with the Rossendale Valley Sports Trust which offers CPD opportunities for the PE Coordinator, access to Change4life resources, entry into Level 2 and Level 3 sports competitions and inclusive competitions. Please see attached documents for how we are using the money and how

How is this sustainable?

Through our partnership with Rossendale Sports Trust, we can provide the PE co-ordinator and staff free CPD opportunities which are allowing staff to embed and deepen their skillset. This is enabling staff to continually develop career-long skills with regards to teaching PE. Through the use of the Change4life club, children’s attitudes towards sport, exercise and nutrition are changing towards a more sustainable lifestyle choice.

So far this year we have sent KS1 and EYFS staff on Scheme of Work CPD which has developed their understanding of how to plan, implement and provide high quality PE sessions. These areas of the school were chosen as we have new staff in KS1 and our planning materials weren’t good enough for EYFS previously.

What outcomes are we working towards?

Outstanding PE provision across the school (curriculum, assessment, use of TA’s)

Increase of knowledge from staff with regards to teaching PE.

All children to have access to competitive competition.

To have at least 5 Level 1 (intra school) competitions which link with our house system.

Wider range of children entering Level 2 competitions.

Obtaining silver accreditation for the School’s Games awards.

30 minutes of daily, vigorous activity.

80% of children to have participated in at least one after school club throughout the year.

Impact measure:
Broadway will measure the impact of the Sports Premium by using questionnaires with pupils, attendance of CPD opportunities by staff, participation in sporting events and attendance figures of the sports clubs.

Impact from last year –
We obtained Bronze accreditation for the Sainsbury’s school games. This academic year we have modified our Playground Pals and created a larger Sports Council to improve our Young Leaders.

We entered a range of Level 2 competitions including football, netball, cricket, gymnastics, athletics and handball. During these events, we had over 40 different children participate.

40% of Key Stage 2 children attended after school clubs last year. 50% of Key Stage One children attended after school clubs last year.

We held three Level One competitions which were directly linked with our house system.

Whole school staff received training on how to plan and provide gymnastics teaching from the Lancashire advisor, Glenn Swindlehurst. This equated to three days-worth of work with Glenn, including whole school INSET training and 1:1 observations and feedback.
